Geometry deals with spatial objects and requires skills to cultivate them. Information processing requires cognitive processes such as recognizing, transferring, rotating and communicating with others. Apparently, there are students who have difficulty in processing spatial information that affects the results of geometric achievement. This study aims to explore information about how students process spatial information. The method used is a descriptive exploratory approach with the subject of three seventh graders in junior high school students. Subjects are asked to complete tasks about the triangle and three-dimensional objects. The results of the study indicate that there are obstacles in processing spatial information, namely in the encoding process. The first and second subjects have difficulty in recognizing objects and represents rotated objects. The third subject has difficulty imagining spatial objects without any media modelling them. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
